Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 2, 2012.

Conrad vs Conrad ON YOUTUBE!

Update #22 · Mar 9, 2012 · comment

As we cross the $13,000 mark we got some great exposure for The Soccermen today with an interview I did for Youtube soccer channel, Kick. And who did they get to interview me? None other than former US national center back - Jimmy CONRAD! Do you see the lengths they went to make us feel comfortable? They got my namesake to ask me the questions!

Shuffle forward to 2:20 for a really solid interview and a great plug for the Kickstarter campaign!

Now for something just as exciting. Most of you have pledged without really knowing the players themselves. Well, as we count down the clock and you guys keep convincing you friends and family to contribute to this marvelous cause, you should get a better idea of who this money will eventually benefit. Remember, a percentage of this film's profits are going to the team! Therefore, followers of @thesoccermen will this week be enjoying our MEET A POHNPEI PLAYER series. Where we tweet a picture and description of a squad member every 12 hours or whenever my bosses at work aren't watching! Click on the descriptions to see the tweets and the photos so far unveiled. 

1.  the self proclaimed "right forward" Ryan Johnson, who is YET to do a proper push up 

2. the hardest working defender in the Pacific, Rocky Henley, who actually gives HIMSELF laps. 

3. the Govenor, Denson Fairfield.

And finally, for those of you that haven't seen it, here is a video we made to thank our team sponsor, Coyne Airways, that we shot a month before we went to Guam. CLICK HERE Now you know the Island Pitbulls personally!

Guys, we are REALLY beginning to count down the days now and while we have some big press lined up for next week, I NEED you to come through in a big way this weekend. Who are 3 people with who you have discussed the project? Have they ACTUALLY pledged? Check the donor list on http://www.thesoccermen.com/ If they haven't, PESTER the living daylights out of them!

Ok, that's all for now. Thanks for staying with us, guys, and remember, you can't keep and underdog down forever.

p.s. Thanks to Dave Targan and Simon D who got us over the $13K mark. Simon D even increased his pledge to seal the deal!
